About

Traveling with my son showed me how valuable real local knowledge is. Now I’m building LocQ, a solo-made platform that connects people with authentic, place-based answers.

LocQ - Real local answers from real locals, anywhere in the world

LocQ lets you ask locals anywhere in the world and get answers based on real lived experience, not generic blogs or AI travel tips. Whether you’re exploring a city, relocating, or curious about daily life abroad, you can learn directly from the people who live there. This launch brings a redesigned UX, better home feed, city maps, and a Residence Code system to highlight trusted local voices.
